What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bonchon's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Bonchon has the right to delegate its obligations under the Franchise Agreement to third-party designees. These designees can be agents or independent contractors that Bonchon contracts with.
If Bonchon delegates any of its duties, the third-party designee is obligated to perform those functions in compliance with the relevant section of the agreement. This means that Bonchon franchisees should expect that some of Bonchon's responsibilities may be carried out by other companies or individuals.
This delegation of duties is a fairly common practice in franchising, allowing the franchisor to focus on core business functions while outsourcing specific tasks to specialists. However, Bonchon remains responsible for ensuring these third parties fulfill the obligations to the franchisee appropriately.
